BEADS AND THEATRE

We actually got out of bed this morning at a reasonable time, by which I mean 9:30, spent some time playing with the cats, and then went off to Times Square to see what kind of tickets we could get four plays or whatever while we are here.

The main thing we thought we wanted to see was Beautiful, the Carole King musical, but it turned out that there were no seats for less than $200.  I think that seemed kind of pricey to John, because he was mostly going because I want to.

We decided to just walk around to the various theaters and see what we thought we might be interested in and see what the prices were. So we ended up getting tickets for tonight to Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder and then tomorrow night to the Sting musical, The Last Ship, which is still in previews.

By the time we finished that we still had time on our hands and not much to do, so of course I went to the bead shops.

I had a very strange experience. York Beach company is my favorite shop in New York, and  there was nothing in the shop that I don't already have.

Sort of the same thing at Tohos. 

But then on the way back to meet John I stumbled into a bead store that was going out of business. They had chain for 60% off, spools of wire for $.35 apiece. I was in heaven.  

On the way back to the subway we saw this odd demonstration of people cheering for as executives as they walked out of the building. I have no idea what that was about.

We came home, had some dinner, and then went back to the play tonight. It was of course fabulous.
